spec

Since at least some people are intrested, I will release them. I have sent the addon to ofp.info and if somebody else could host them, I could send the files to them too...

A little note about winter warfare (arctic/subarctic) from a swedish perspective. As someone already stated you tend to move and react slower in a snowy and cold enviroment. But with proper training and equipment you can conduct almost any military activity in cold and snowy weather, at least down to about -30 to -40 degrees Celsius. Any colder than that and machinery becomes hard to get started and equipment break down more easily. About hiding in the snow: as long as you insulate yourself from the snow, for exampel by putting a sleeping bag or blanket between you and the snow it actually helps to keep you (relatively) warm, at the very least it protects you from the wind. For an observation post, you would usually dig a hole in the snow, cover the bottom with something to lie/sit on, then cover the hideout with a white IR-protective camo-net. Such an hideout could also be used for an ambush or as a machine gun nest. I have done my share of crawling/skiing/walking in the snow during my military service in the Swedish Army. I served in an engineer battalion stationed in the northern part of Sweden, we frequently trained north of the arctic circle. As far as snow in Flashpoint goes, I believe that you could do as nephilim stated and use same trick as with the swimming pool. You probably could use the rotor wash scripts from some helo to simulate blowing snow and so on...

Just posting this to tell you that I, after getting permission from Scud have released a pack containing some reskinned variants of his SC-7 Skyvan. Those who want them can grab them at: spec_skyvan.rar Some pics: I hope that at least someone like them

At the moment this addon only carries infantry, but if someone could cook up a script for carrying jeepsized vehicles, then i would gladly add it. But as this is only a reskin of Scud's work, the proper way to go about it would probably be to ask him to add that function to the model.

Very good addon, I really like it! Napalm version is really nice

No need for original files, the reskinned variants are standalone, this is also stated in the readme
